It seems that you, Craig and myself have been lucky in this respect Notes.
I can even remember (way back) when my mum and dad purchased our first record player - a black Dansette model with a silver speaker grille.
As part of the 'ritual', they both purchased an LP to play on our new investment; mum got Grieg's Peer Gynt performed by the LSO, and dad bought The Real Glenn Miller & His Orchestra Play The Original Music Of The Film "The Glenn Miller Story" (the biopic starring Jimmy Stewart).
